This mashup was the most rejected I've ever posted. I think it's amazing that these two pieces fit together so well. Go figure.

Aha. I don't think Detroit had a jazz station.

Jazz is more popular overseas than in the land of its birth. I once toured a museum in Malaysia. They had jazz 78's from the thirties. During WWII jazz was popular in Japan. The big stars usually have a jazz number in their set, TV shows may have jazz themes, Tokyo has about a hundred jazz clubs, and so forth. I hear that jazz is popular in France and Russia too.

If you had a FM radio in California you always had jazz.

If by always you mean the 1970's. The only jazz radio I know of in the recent USA was NPR from 11pm Sunday to 7am Monday. Can you say back of the bus? While in Japan I heard an entire John Coltrane classic quartet album played over a public address system that covered at least a square mile of an entertainment district. Jazz has much of the fifth floor in the Shibuya Tower Records. Yep, a five story building on some of the most expensive real estate in the world selling nothing but CDs and DVDs. Alan Holdsworth was heavily represented.

I suspect that Japan has the most music education per capita in the world. Millions of people have started on piano, violin, or whatever at age three. It has the most spending as percentage of GDP on music. China has the least on the list.

These jazz stations were on air 24 hours. So if ya all happened to be up all night you had jazz on the radio. Those days I was in the U.S. Coast Guard (4 years) . On 48 hours on 48 hours off duty. Port Security Unit, Long Beach ,CA.Captain of the Port.
